§ 61-3-812 — Reinstatement

(a) A limited partnership that is administratively dissolved under § 61-3-811 may apply to the secretary of state for reinstatement following the administrative dissolution. The application must: (1) Be accompanied by a confirmation of good standing with the department of revenue relative to the limited partnership; (2) State the name of the limited partnership at the time of the limited partnership's administrative dissolution; (3) State a name for the limited partnership that satisfies § 61-3-112 ; and (4) State that the grounds for dissolution did not exist or have been eliminated. (b) If the secretary of state determines that the application is accompanied by the confirmation of good standing with the department of revenue and contains the information required by subsection (a), and that the information is correct, then the secretary of state must cancel the certificate of dissolution and prepare a certificate of reinstatement that recites the secretary of state's determination and the effective date of reinstatement, file the original of the certificate, and serve a copy on the limited partnership. Service of the copy may be by first class mail. (c) If the limited partnership name in subdivision (a)(2) is different than the limited partnership name in subdivision (a)(3), the application for reinstatement must constitute an amendment to the certificate of limited partnership insofar as it pertains to the limited partnership's name. (d) When reinstatement is effective, reinstatement relates back to and takes effect as of the effective date of the administrative dissolution, and the limited partnership resumes carrying on the limited partnership's business as if the administrative dissolution had never occurred.
